By the year 3010, pine trees (Pinus xmas) have been extinct for eight hundred years. They became extinct during the Fifty-Year Squirts when they were all chopped down to make toilet paper. However, their seeds have been kept preserved in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.

In a what-if scenario of Xmas 3010, pine trees were brought back from extinction by the Planet Express crew. However, they had been mutated by a virus from the Germ Warfare Repository and eventually covered Earth in forests. Due to all the oxygen they created, the atmosphere burned up when Bender lit a cigar.

Trivia

• The pine trees only appeared in a non-canon segment, so they may not actually be kept in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.
• During the episode "Spanish Fry", pine trees can be seen throughout the forest, despite the fact that they were supposedly "extinct" at the time.
